4 Mary n Eileen wins Frances Slocum Stakes SHELBYVILLE, Ind.; Nov. 1, 2014 Mary n Eileen was on a mission from the starting gate, leaving her spot from post 10 to glide to the lead early and never look back, earning the title in the 18th running of the $150,000-added Frances Slocum Stakes at Indiana Grand during the closing night program Saturday, Nov. 1. Mary n Eileen, piloted by Rafael Hernandez, completed the one and one-sixteenth mile event in a time of 1:43.41 to earn her second career stakes win for trainer Patrick McBurney. Hernandez left gamely from the outside with Mary n Eileen, matching Yeardley and Fernando De La Cruz, who started from post 11, stride for stride heading to the first turn. Once settled on the top, she kept her presence known as a horse to beat, trading the pace setter roll with Yeardley, who sat directly to her outside. Around the turn, it looked as if Mary n Eileen might be overtaken by closers in the 11-horse field, but she found another gear at the top of the stretch. Once Mary n Eileen fought off Yeardley, she had another attacker from the inside. Hoosier Honey and Oriana Rossi found a seam inside and scooted up the rail to become a fast closing threat at the wire. However, Mary n Eileen held on for the win by a neck over Hoosier Honey. Colony Crossing and Albin Jiminez rallied up late for third. Mary n Eileen paid $5.60, $4.20 and $3.00 across the board as the favorites of the field. The chestnut daughter of Indy King, who was unraced at two, is now four for seven in her career, boosting her bankroll to more than $228,000 for owners ABL Stable, D. Bossone, J. Cahill, P. Donnely and Phantom House. She earned her first stakes win in August at Indiana Grand in the $150,000-added First Lady Stakes. Indiana Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association - ITOBA NEWS Spooled paid $10.40, $4.00 and $3.40 as the second choice on the board. The two-year-old filly earned her third win in five outings for 2014 for trainer Barbara McBride. She increased her career bankroll to more than $132,000 for owners Amy and James Elliott. Spooled was also an impressive winner in the $85,000 Indiana Stallion Stakes Filly Division held on Indiana Derby Night, winning by 11 and one-half lengths to prove her ability as a top two-year-old filly in the state of Indiana. The Dr. Large filly was bred by Carmalley Valley Farm, LLC with four of her five career starts contested at Indiana Grand. The time of the race was 1: Amoss Stable earns fourth consecutive Leading Trainer title at Indiana Grand Racing & Casino SHELBYVILLE, Ind.; Nov. 1, 2014 Tom Amoss was once again hard to catch, topping the trainer standings for the fourth straight year to earn Leading Trainer honors for the 2014 racing season. Horses from the Amoss Stable picked up 59 wins during the 120-day meet with purse earnings in excess of $1.2 million. A native of Louisiana, Amoss has built up a stable that is competitive in the national ranks each year. He is currently ranked ninth in wins for 2014 among all trainers. His fourth title at Indiana Grand is added to numerous titles from other tracks, including Hoosier Park, Churchill Downs, Ellis Park, Kentucky Downs and Fair Grounds. Amoss celebrated his 3,000th career win at Indiana Grand earlier this year. The Louisiana State University graduate is also an inductee into the Fair Grounds Hall of Fame. We had a good break and we let the 12 (Yeardley) go and were able to sit good behind the speed, said Hernandez, who earned three of the four stakes wins on the card. We got a perfect trip and were able to make a winning run at the end. Spooled takes title in Miss Indiana Stakes SHELBYVILLE, Ind.; Nov. 1, 2014 An inside post proved to beneficial for Spooled and Malcolm Franklin as the pair romped to victory in the 17th running of the $85,000-added Miss Indiana Stakes Saturday, Nov. 1 at Indiana Grand. The race was one of four stakes on the card, pushing purses to more than $460,000 for the 11-race program that closed out the 2014 racing season. Spooled began her journey in the Miss Indiana Stakes from post two and used just enough momentum to sit patiently inside Mabeeitstime and Francisco Torres and they set fractions of :23.54 and :47.42 before Spooled took over the top spot in the turn. As the field moved into the stretch, Franklin was able to get a jump on the field and opened up by two lengths with only a furlong to go. Heart s Song and jockey Jon Court also used a move in the turn to gain an advantage. The duo darted to the inside and came out in front of several front runners with their sights set on Spooled. Halfway through the lane, it looked as if Spooled might be reachable for Heart s Song, but as the filly drew closer, Spooled kicked back into gear and rallied with a strong burst of speed at the end to win the one mile and 70-yard race by four and threequarter lengths. Heart s Song was a solid second over the rest of the field with Lady Fog Horn and Albin Jiminez also the st of the rest for third. Amoss established new records for Indiana Grand in 2013, winning 81 races as most wins in one meet and pulling in purse earnings of more than $1.5 million as most purse earnings in one season. Amoss now has 230 career wins at Indiana Grand to rank second on the list of all-time leading trainers. Gary Patrick has the most training wins at 241. Accepting the Leading Trainer Award on behalf of the Amoss Stable was longtime assistant trainer Shane Jolivette, who oversees the string of horses at Indiana Grand each season. Jolivette will relocate to Delta Downs for the winter months before heading back to Indiana in the spring. Marvin Johnson finished in second place with 41 wins while Gary Patrick earned third place honors with 33 wins. In addition to Amoss as top trainer, Cindy Patrick was presented with the Leading Owner title, which was the first time she had achieved the honor. Patrick, a former jockey, joins her husband, Gary, and her daughter, Cheyanna, as a family owned and operated business. Horses owned by Patrick won 33 races during the meet for a total of more than $707,000 in purse earnings. In addition to her work on the racetrack, Patrick also competes on the National Barrel Horse Association circuit each year and won the 2013 title in the Indiana State Open Championship division. Fernando De La Cruz was also a first time winner in 2014, earning the Leading Jockey title by 27 wins over last year s winner, Malcolm Franklin. De La Cruz put together a season that earned him 129 wins and purse earnings in excess of $2.8 million. The native of Peru adds his title from Indiana Grand to a previous title recorded at Hoosier Park. He earned his 1,000th career win in late 2013 at Tampa Bay Downs since arriving in the United State to ride in 2007.

5 Leading Horse of 2014 honors went to Our Valid Twirl from the Tim Glyshaw Stable. The five-year-old mare won five of 11 starts during the season with purses in excess of $139,000. Our Valid Twirl was equaled in wins by Buster Rose, but turned in more second place finishes, grabbing two seconds and one third. The daughter of Goods is owned by Jonathan Liberto.

Indiana s new emergency rule regulating Cobalt affects the state s rule governing the transfer of claimed horses found at 71 IAC This rule addresses the right of one claiming a horse that tests positive for Cobalt. Specifically, the new rule states: If the post-race serum or plasma sample of the horse contains Cobalt in excess of the threshold established in 71 IAC , the claimant will be notified of the test result and he or she may, within forty-eight (48) hours of notification, at his or her option, return the horse to the owner of the horse at the time of the entry for the race from which the horse was claimed. 71 IAC (G). The second statute affected by the new emergency rule on Cobalt is the rule found at IAC and that is entitled Drug Classifications and Penalties. Specifically, Section (B) of this provision states Cobalt shall carry a category (A) penalty, as established by the Recommended Penalties and Model Rules, regardless of the presence in a post-race or out-of-competition sample. The third statute affected by the new emergency rule on Cobalt is 71 IAC that is entitled Environmental Contaminants and Substances of Human Use. This statutory provision establishes the allowable threshold for Cobalt at 25 parts per billion in serum or plasma. Subsection 2(2)(b)(3) of the provision states: A sample from a horse tested and found by the Commission s primary lab to have Cobalt in excess of this threshold shall be placed and remain on the veterinarian s list until the concentration of Cobalt in serum or plasma has fallen below the designated threshold. A Look at the Indiana Horse Racing Commission Emergency Rule Regarding Regulation of Cobalt Submitted by Peter J. Sacopulos. Peter J. Sacopulos is a member of the Board of ITOBA and practices law in Terre Haute Indiana. On September 4, 2014, the Indiana Horse Racing Commission adopted an emergency rule regarding the regulation of Cobalt. Cobalt is a mineral and is essential to all animals. Cobalt is a constituent of Cobalamin, also Vitamin B. Cobalt is part of Vitamin B12 and is contained in many feeds and supplements routinely given and administered to horses. Prior to the Indiana Horse Racing Commission s proposed, and now effective, emergency rule on Cobalt, many horseman were not aware of nor administered Cobalt to their horses. This raises the question of why would Cobalt be administered to a horse. The main reason is to build red blood cells. Cobalt does so by way of stabilizing certain hypoxia detecting proteins. Hypoxia is the condition whereby the body believes it is hypoxic or lacking oxygen. When this occurs, erythropoiesis takes place. Erythropoiesis is the process whereby red blood cells are produced. As additional red blood cells are produced, the level of oxygen in blood increases resulting in the increased oxygenation of muscles. Indiana s Cobalt rule became effective on September 30, 2014, for competition testing and becomes effective January 1, 2015, for out of competition testing. Significantly, Indiana s rule establishes the lowest threshold, that being 25 parts per billion, of any rule regulating Cobalt that is presently in existence either nationally or internationally. Indiana s new Cobalt rule affects four main existing Indiana horseracing statutes. Specifically, the new rule affects: (1) the transfer of a claimed horse, 71 IAC ; (2) Drug classification and penalties, 71 IAC ; (3) Environmental contaminants and substances of human use, 71 IAC , and; (4) Out of competition testing, 71 IAC One troubling fact relative to this provision is that Indiana s current primary lab, LGC, located in the State of Kentucky, does not, according to its director, Dr. Richard Sams, presently possess the necessary equipment to test for Cobalt. LGC Lab has been a source of confusion and disappointment during the 2014 racing season. The Indiana Horse Racing Commission, at its recent meeting of November 17, 2014, stated that a request for proposal (RFP) will be issued with a goal of selecting a more appropriately suited laboratory for Indiana s horse racing needs. Applicants responding to the state s RFP should necessarily possess the equipment, technology and training necessary to competently test serum and plasma samples for Cobalt. The fourth and final Indiana statute affected by the Indiana Horse Racing Commission s new rule regulating Cobalt relates to out of competition testing. Specifically, 71 IAC (e)(6) reads: Cobalt in excess of the threshold provided in 71 IAC In the event a sample from a horse results in Cobalt in excess of the threshold, the horse shall be placed on the veterinarian s list until the concentration of Cobalt in the serum has fallen below the designated threshold. The two primary reasons provided by the Indiana Horse Racing Commission in establishing a rule regulating Cobalt are: (1) Cobalt treatments may well be performance enhancing, and; (2) high levels of Cobalt pose a toxic threat to the equine athlete. These points or reasons have merit. However, horsemen participating in Indiana s upcoming program in 2015, should perform due diligence with regard to feed and other supplements being provided to their equine athletes to be certain that Indiana s minimum threshold of 25 parts per billion is not exceeded. Finally, the Commission staff has been required to report the results of all Cobalt testing at the conclusion of the 2014 race meet. Additionally, the Commission is required to report on progress made nationally regarding Cobalt testing in race horses. The Commission s report, likely to be provided at the March, 2015 meeting, is to include updates from the Association of Racing Commissioners International (RCI), Racing and Medication Testing Consortium (RMTC), as well as the results of any and all empirical studies appearing in peer review journals together with staff recommendations regarding the existing rule. The issue of Cobalt in horse racing is one that continues to evolve and those participating in Indian s program look forward to these reports.
